The system uses an interactive digital avatar to conduct a verbal interview with the person being screened for depression.Skeletal polygonal overlays map the depressed human’s posture, gaze direction, and even “smile level.” They believe tracking changes in a patient's voice patterns, via a smartphone app, can help identify or even predict extreme mood swings Bedford’s iRobot Corp. has won FDA clearance for a line of robots designed to let doctors interact with hospital patients remotely. RP-VITA is designed to navigate around hospitals on its own and has a 15-inch LCD screen as a face. The first RP-VITA robots, which would cost hospitals $4,000 to $6,000 a month to operate, could begin appearing in medical centers in the next few months. IRobot developed the robots in partnership with InTouch Health Inc., a California company.

• #16: Data Assisted Living http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-06-05/is-chris-dancy-the-most-quantified-self-in-america The result is a multicolor, proliferating array of information that is, according to Dancy, full of unexpected correlations. During his first self-improvement project—to lose 100 pounds—he discovered that he ate worse after binge-watching TV shows. It didn’t matter which show, only that his caloric intake increased whenever he watched episodes of the same show back to back. Now he still might watch four hours of TV, but he mixes it up: an episode of Dexter followed by True Blood, then Californication. He also found he ate better when he slept better and slept better when air quality was better, so he changed the rugs near where his dogs come and go through their door dragging in dust. He says he lost 20 pounds simply by identifying such correlations and changing his behavior accordingly. From there it was a matter of setting rules: If he wanted fast food, for example, he had to walk to get it—until he was ready to adopt plain old exercise routines. 1. Step Detection An algorithm translates an accelerometer reading into distance traveled and helps estimate activity level and calories burned. Healthy Range: About 10,000 steps per day 2. Pulse A sensor opposite an LED monitors fluctuations in light transmitted through your finger. The rise and fall of light indicates heart rate. Healthy Range: 60 -- 100 beats per minute 3. Heart Rate Variability A heart rate monitor measures the variation of beat-to-beat intervals. High variability is indicative of good health and a high level of fitness. Healthy Range: 18 -- 44 percent variability while resting 4. Blood Oxygenation A pulse oximeter detects the light absorption of hemo-globin to see how much oxygen reaches your extremities. That data helps athletes determine whether they’ve recovered fully from a workout. Healthy Range: 95 -- 99 percent 5. Body Temperature A thermometer that sits against the skin assesses surface temperature. Abnormal spikes or drops are early warning signs of sickness. Healthy Range: 97.6 -- 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit 6. Sleep Sensitive 3-D accelerometers detect small body movement during the night. When paired with continuous heart rate monitoring, it offers a rough idea of sleep stages -- light, deep, and REM. Healthy Range: 7-- 9 hours of sleep 7. Blood Sugar Sensors measure glucose in skin fluid using infra-red light or low-power radio waves. For diabetics, it’s a pinprick alternative. For others, it’s a way to see how diet affects health. Healthy Range: 80 -- 140 milligrams per deciliter

• #20: A Million Smartphones Will Drive Biggest Heart Health Study in History Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are recruiting a million participants to join a decade long heart health study. The enabling factor? Smartphones. It’s a great example of information technology bleeding into other fields and speeding their progress. If all goes to plan, the UCSF study (dubbed Health eHeart) will be the broadest such study ever completed. In comparison, the much lauded Framingham Heart Study, initiated in 1948, recruited and studied 15,000 participants over three generations. The Framingham study outlined today’s familiar set of heart risks that doctors use to evaluate patients and prescribe lifestyle changes—high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, stress, and physical inactivity. The discovery and subsequent mediation of these risk factors is largely credited with a 75% decline in mortality rates due to heart-related disease in the last half century. http://singularityhub.com/2013/04/03/a-million-smartphones-will-drive-biggest-heart-health-study-in-history
